WHY ... "WHY IT MATTERS"?

---

We live in complex times. Unprecedented events now happen in Washington DC every day, and it's hard to know what it all means — or whether it means anything to most people in their daily lives. 

What happens in our government does affect each of us, often in non-obvious ways. Every American has the right to understand what's at stake for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Why It Matters is a project dedicated to making that possible. By offering clear, straightforward Q&A on important topics, we want to help Americans — our families, our neighbors, and people all over the country — understand why it matters.
